Sinatra's Birthday Celebration

Here at Patsy's, we've been known to throw a party or two over the years. Heck, I'd venture so far as to say we're getting pretty good at it. ; ) So whenever Sinatra's birthday rolls around, we have to celebrate in style... and naturally, this year was no exception.

On top of our luncheon, which we make a point of hosting every year, we had WoR radio come by the restaurant with a host of special guests. They conducted their first interview with Sal and Joe, then proceeded to talk to several other people, including a member of Sinatra's band, several Sinatra impersonators, and even Danny Aiello! It was a great party, and many of the interviews were fascinating.

For that reason, I've begun to upload the footage from the event onto the site. It'll take some time to get everything up, but for now there's a great clip from Danny Aiello's interview that I'm sure you'll love. In it, among other things, he talks about the death of his son and how it changed him. It's a very personal interview, and one that we're glad he felt comfortable sharing at Patsy's.



I'll be updating the site with more videos from this event constantly, and I'm also planning on doing a little "behind-the-scenes" post about what went into setting up the radio broadcast at the restaurant. As a tech geek, I found that stuff fascinating - hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I did, haha.
